THE POINTER SISTERS - HOW LONG (BETCHA GOT A CHICK ON THE SIDE)
I always find it impressive when groups or artists are able to adapt
into other style variations during a long career. While I personally may
not like the results, that's beside the point. Sounds and styles
change, and a living must be made. The Pointer Sisters morphed thru
soul, funk, disco, electro and pop throughout their career and had many
hits along the way. Sisters Bonnie, June, Ruth & Anita hail from Oakland, CA and their heavenly harmonies are spread across so many great records thru the years that it's downright ridiculous. I even dig the hell out of their '80's hit "Neutron Dance"!
Speaking of ridiculous, the GROOVE on this cut is so ridiculously good that I can't get enough of it, and I could easily sit and listen to this jam several times in a row. Whoever the bassist and drummer are, they're HEROES. Add the incredible vocals from the sisters and the whispered hook, and it's a STONE groove.
from 1975...

I love this tune, even if I can't stop thinking "Gimme that wawa Carl!" every time I hear it!
One of their best!
